| - Ru San's is my old standby for sushi. In fact after last night I just realized I haven't "yelped" this place yet. With all the new fancy places (burgsushi? Owner performs song & dance?), nothing beats solid and affordable. I honestly think Ru San's started the hip sushi movement in Charlotte.
My favorite thing here is the $1 menu. And unlike other $1 menu sushi places, Ru San's has options. Here are some of my regular items: Cajun Maki, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Rock & Roll ($1.50), Bay Shrimp Salad Maki, Spicy Aioli Scallop Maki, Seared Salmon Nigiri, Teriyaki Eggplant Maki... also the Tofu Yakitori is great, as well as Salmon Tempura. I often walk out of here with a fully belly for under $10.
I personally avoid the lunch buffet but I know plenty of people swear by it. No offense, I much rather enjoy my sushi that looks like sushi and not sushi shape rice falling apart creations.
No matter how cool other places people say they are, Ru San's always have a spot on my dining list.
